Summary

The East Coast Tunas and Billfishes Research Program was funded by the Fishing Industry Research Trust Account (FIRTA F86/127) from July 1986 to June 1988.

Particular emphasis was placed on research into the biology of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, a species of considerable economic importance to commercial longline fishers.
